Language: English
Abstract. The article examines an author-designed research framework for developing a standardized informational framework to facilitate the integration of Ukrainian refugee schoolchildren into the educational systems of developed countries such as the United States, Canada and Germany. In the developed countries, evidence-based policymaking is institutionalized at the legislative level, enabling relatively seamless adoption of such frameworks. The standardized informational support may incorporate components derived from pre-existing datasets on refugee schoolchildren within the national Education Management Information System (EMIS), specifically Ukraine’s Automated Information Complex of Educational Management (AICEM), alongside supplementary data gathered from surveys and analyses of the educational and socio-economic challenges confronted by Ukrainian refugee schoolchildren and their families in host countries. The study outlines a research design featuring a cross-sectional survey of schoolchildren, their guardians and educators. The questionnaires encompass three principal dimensions: socio-economic, informational and psycho-emotional. The methodological framework entails rigorous statistical analysis of anonymized, disaggregated data segmented by age, gender and educational attainment. The findings of this research will enable the identification of critical challenges and the formulation of evidence-based recommendations for educational institutions and policymakers in host countries, taking into account the opportunities for remote learning, gender equity and inclusivity. Moreover, the study’s outcomes will contribute to enhancing intercultural dialogue and the social integration of refugee schoolchildren, which are crucial factors for their academic success. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of an approach that will enable for the creation of a standardized informational framework for refugee schoolchildren, and thus, identify effective strategies for addressing their educational challenges and alleviating the socio-economic issues faced by refugee families and their school-aged children in the host countries.
